STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The Southeast Denton Neighborhood contains 71 roadway segments that will be reconstructed as part of
the voter-approved 2019 Street Reconstruction Bond. Along with the full reconstruction of the identified
street segments, the project also includes the replacement of aging utility infrastructure, enhanced sidewalk
connectivity, and various street lighting upgrades. Southeast Denton Package B (SED-B) contains the
remaining 49 roadway segments. The scope of work for segments in Package B includes full-depth street
reconstruction and various utility replacements as needed.
The original GMP total of $21,582,378 included $567,969 for the Owner’s Contingency which is designated
for the sole use of the City in the event of encountering unforeseeable conditions and at the City’s discretion.
Throughout the project, Contingency Use Authorization (CUA) No. 1 – 5 were approved by the City Project
Manager and Purchasing to cover unplanned services and additional scope. CUA No. 1 included additional
scope from ninety percent plans approved at GMP to one hundred percent plans that were used for
construction. CUA No. 2 – 5 included added services and connections to the water and wastewater scope
on multiple streets. Unplanned drainage repairs on Prairie St. caused additional curb, gutter, and sidewalk
replacements on several street segments. Locating existing utilities, including water, gas, and
communication lines, required additional locating efforts. There were also unknown subgrade conditions
that required the removal of unsuitable materials including flowable fill, abandoned utilities, and concrete.
The purpose of this Change Order No. 1 is to add additional Owner’s Contingency for additional required
work including, added scope and unforeseen conflicts in the subgrade which included unknown utilities and
concrete. The additional scope included water services, sewer services, additional curb and gutter
